0:00:02 > 0:00:06Gareth Malone wants to help Britain's workers find their voice.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Good morning, everyone. I'm here to start the choir.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13If you are at all interested, make yourself known to me.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16In search of hidden talent, he wants to create choirs
0:00:16 > 0:00:19in four of Britain's busiest workplaces.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24- BLEEPING - Are you a singer?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- What do you do? - Dig holes for a living, basically.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31# Pat puts all his postbags in his van. #
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Yes, he does!
0:00:33 > 0:00:37And for the workers, company pride will be at stake
0:00:37 > 0:00:41when they compete to find Gareth's best workplace choir.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Is everybody ready?- Yes.- Fighting spirit?- Yes.- Let's go and do it.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50When I was learning to sing, it was through competing with other people that I got better.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54I want that for these choirs. I want them to feel the pressure and get better.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Before the performance I'll pray to God. "God, help us this time."
0:00:59 > 0:01:03We want to win it and we're going to go hell for leather to win it.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Months and months of work and slog
0:01:05 > 0:01:08come down to that one moment when you're on stage.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10That's why I love it.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Gareth has set up three of the workplace choirs
0:01:24 > 0:01:26that will compete in his singing contest.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32He's now on his way to the Midlands to create his fourth and final choir.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I'm going to one of the biggest water companies in the country,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39which I'm looking forward to.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40I don't know anything about water,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43other than when I turn on my tap, I expect it to be there.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45It's just not something you ever think about.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I don't know what kind of person works for a water company
0:01:48 > 0:01:51but I do know that it's a very important service
0:01:51 > 0:01:53because we can't live without water -
0:01:53 > 0:01:55it's like one of the emergency services.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Severn Trent is the second biggest private water company in the UK,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04supplying clean water to nearly 4 million homes and businesses
0:02:04 > 0:02:06across the Midlands and Wales.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08If we didn't do our job right,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12our customers would either turn on their taps to no water supply
0:02:12 > 0:02:15or that supply's not going to be fit to drink.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21With over 100 sites, the company employs over 5,000 staff,
0:02:21 > 0:02:22from call centres...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Hello, Control Room, Sam speaking.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28..to work gangs, who find and fix leaks.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32We're like the foot soldiers, the Severn Trent Army.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34We've got to go out there and find these leaks
0:02:34 > 0:02:36and it can take days, it can take weeks
0:02:36 > 0:02:38and there can be a lot of water being wasted
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and it does get stressful.
0:02:41 > 0:02:47Gareth is starting his search for singers at the company's brand new headquarters in Coventry.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Morning.- Hi, good morning.- Hello. I'm Gareth.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Welcome to Severn Trent Centre. - I'm here to start a choir.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Wow.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01So corporate.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07There must be thousands of people in this building
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and there might be somebody typing away at the back of an office
0:03:10 > 0:03:12who's got no idea that they're going to be
0:03:12 > 0:03:15an absolutely key member of my choir and that really excites me.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Have you heard about the choir? - Yeah, I have.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Have you put your name down? - No, I can't sing.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Severn Trent Water, Charlotte speaking.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25You're speaking to Stuart.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Gareth wants to make sure everyone in the company knows he'll be holding open auditions
0:03:29 > 0:03:31to find the strongest 30 voices.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Severn Trent Business Direct, Jo speaking. How can I help?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Hello, are you busy? - Just wrapping up a job.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Go for it.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41He begins with the busy call centre staff,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45who deal with thousands of enquiries and complaints every day.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Thank you for your call. Enjoy the rest of your day.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Have you got a call? - Not really, not at the moment.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- So you must have to deal with people who are really angry.- Of course.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- When you go home can you hear them echoing around your head?- Always.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Really?- Every time I hear a beep, it's like...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04"Good morning, you're through to Severn Trent Water." GARETH LAUGHS
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- Hi. I'm Gareth.- I'm Steve. - Hi, Steve.- I'm the manager of everybody on the floor.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- I was just wanted to make sure that you were aware that we've had quite a busy morning.- Have you?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- We've had 500 calls so far this morning...- Right.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It's just imperative that we make sure we're able to answer...
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I can see that you're quite stressed, aren't you?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- ..every single call... - Are you thinking about joining us?
0:04:24 > 0:04:29- I feel you're a man under pressure. - You may well be right.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Until I came here I didn't realise how much people in call centres are under constant pressure.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Imagine what it's like when it's freezing out there
0:04:38 > 0:04:41and all the pipes are breaking - it must be hell in here.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Imagine having a whole day of people being angry with you
0:04:45 > 0:04:47because they haven't got water.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Right, floor seven.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Next stop, senior management on the top floor.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Spacious.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Hello.- Hello.- I'm Gareth Malone. - Hi, Gareth. How are you?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- I'm starting a choir in your company.- I'm Andy Smith.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Have you sung before?- Erm, only at school and rugby matches.- Right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10But I wanted to show willing and show a bit of leadership.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I like that. Leading by example.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15If I put myself forward, I could expect my people to do the same.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Thanks very much.- You're very welcome. See you later. Great.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25With the boss on board, Gareth heads over 20 miles to Leicester,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27in search of the workmen.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Morning. Thanks.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Hi. I'm here to talk about the choir.- Welcome to Leicester.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Good to be here.- Good luck. - Oh, right - thanks!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Before you go, could I have a very quick word? Is that all right?
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- Yeah, no problem.- I'm here today to invite you to be part of a choir
0:05:51 > 0:05:54that will, I hope, represent your company
0:05:54 > 0:05:56in a national contest.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59And for me, it's really important that this choir reflects the whole company
0:05:59 > 0:06:03from, you know, the girls in the office to all of you.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's absolutely about bringing everyone together,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08so I hope it's something you'd like to get behind.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Has anyone put their names forward?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Two.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Come on, guys!
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Anyone? For the company!
0:06:17 > 0:06:18BUZZ OF CONVERSATION
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I can't sing. I've got no teeth.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26No way. I can't sing.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I'm underwhelmed.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32It's kind of what I expected.
0:06:37 > 0:06:43You know, not even the girls from the office was enough of an enticement.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54The following day, Gareth's back at head office to begin auditions.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Right, hello. Follow me, come on in.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Hi, everyone.- Hello. - Welcome to the audition.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15I want to set up a choir in this company that can speak for the company,
0:07:15 > 0:07:16that represents the whole company.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'm looking for a choir of around 30 people
0:07:19 > 0:07:22out of a company of 5,000.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27So I'm looking for the cream. I'm looking for the diamonds.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32So the song that you are going to do now is Row Row Row Your Boat.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33You're going to sing it on your own.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Joanna... What's your second name. - Bratt.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43SHE SINGS CONFIDENTLY # Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream
0:07:43 > 0:07:46# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
0:07:46 > 0:07:48# Life is but a dream. #
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Well done. Have you done this before?- Yes.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- I've got a degree in music.- You've got a degree in music!- I have.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- I should be so much better. - Can we do it in E major?- No.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Can I just hear E major? One, two, three, and.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05SHE SINGS HIGHER # Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream
0:08:05 > 0:08:07# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
0:08:07 > 0:08:09# Life is but a dream. #
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- The roof nearly came off. - It's not good.- It was good. Well done. Thank you very much.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I note with some interest
0:08:15 > 0:08:18we have some people from the seventh floor here today.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Andy. - PIANO PLAYS CHORD
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Here we go. Are you ready? One, two, three, and.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28# Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream
0:08:28 > 0:08:31# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. #
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Great. Have you done anything like this before?- No.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Good. Well done. Thank you, Andy.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
0:08:38 > 0:08:41# Life is but a dream. #
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Throughout the day, Gareth auditions over 80 office workers
0:08:45 > 0:08:48as he searches for the very best voices.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
0:08:50 > 0:08:53# Life is but a dream. #
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Erm...- Charlotte.- Charlotte.- Yes.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58OK. One, two, three, and.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03SHE SINGS SWEETLY # Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream
0:09:03 > 0:09:08# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. #
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Can I hear a low one? B flat, please.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15SHE SINGS MORE DEEPLY # Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream
0:09:15 > 0:09:20# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. #
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- What do you do?- I work in the billing department on the phones.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Billing on the phones.- Yes.- So you get money from people, basically.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Yes, I do.- It's an important job. Somebody's got to do it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36The job that I'm in at the moment, I completely... I love it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'm the first point of contact for customers.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43The job can be stressful.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48They can be angry and that and you've got to learn to try and not take it personally.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50But sometimes it is hard.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54If the lines are busy we don't get time to talk to each other.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55We're never on the same breaks,
0:09:55 > 0:10:00so it's really difficult to get to know people in the company.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I think having a choir will bring everybody together
0:10:03 > 0:10:06and this is why I think the choir is a good thing.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. #
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Good. Thank you very much.- Yeah.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- There were some great voices in there.- There was.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Some really fantastic voices.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- Fingers crossed. Are you confident, Katherine?- Erm, not really.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27I hope I get into the choir.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31I've never really had any experience of singing alone,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33like, with people around me.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Well done. Thanks.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I'm actually properly excited. That was really good.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40There's some great potential here
0:10:40 > 0:10:45and people who really feel like they represent the company well
0:10:45 > 0:10:46but who also sing well.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I thought it was really good. I was quite impressed.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Next, Gareth heads back to Leicester for the workmen.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Good turnout.- Hiya.- This is looking good. Good afternoon.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Sit wherever you like.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06If you can bunch up that would be great. Thanks.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Have we got the whole... We've got the works.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Great. Hello. Welcome.- Hello.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Thank you very, very much for coming this afternoon.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Shall we get cracking and get singing, yes?- Yes.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I'm going to go to Lee, all the way back over here. Hi, Lee.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- Have you done this before?- No. - OK, well, let's hear it. Two, three.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28# Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream
0:11:28 > 0:11:31# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
0:11:31 > 0:11:33# Life is but a dream. #
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Thank you, Lee. What do you do? - Dig holes for a living, basically.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Dig holes! Mick, Hi. Two, three, and.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44# Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream
0:11:44 > 0:11:46# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
0:11:46 > 0:11:49# Life is but a dream. #
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Frog in your throat?- A bit. - That's fine.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- A cold or too many fags? - It's probably too many fags.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58All right, a bit of both. Jamie, up you get. Two, three, and.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02# Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream
0:12:02 > 0:12:04# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
0:12:04 > 0:12:06# Life is but a dream. #
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Does this before?- No.- Never?- No.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- What do you do?- Find leaks. Point at leaks.- You're a leak finder.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- You point at leaks. - Well done, OK. That's good.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19OK, and Josh. Two, three, and.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23HE SINGS IN A HIGH TENOR # Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream
0:12:23 > 0:12:27# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. #
0:12:27 > 0:12:28- We're going to go up! - HIGHER CHORD
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Two, three, and.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34HE SINGS HIGHER # Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream
0:12:34 > 0:12:38# Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. #
0:12:38 > 0:12:40We're going to up. And.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- # Row, row, row your boat Gently down the... #- Relax.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- HE HITS TOP NOTE # Merrily, merrily, merrily... # - Well done. That's bloody good.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50No, stand up! That's good!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54# Merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. #
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Is that an A? That's a find. Very good. Well done.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01That's a high tenor. You're a rarity.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03That is a high note. That's really high.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Well done. Thank you very much. You may go.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11It surprised me. I didn't have a clue what we were going to be doing
0:13:11 > 0:13:14but it seems like everybody knows Row Your Boat.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It'll be in my head all night now, thank you very much.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Quite embarrassing, standing up in front of everybody
0:13:19 > 0:13:22singing really high-pitched notes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Just uncomfortable with your work colleagues
0:13:24 > 0:13:26because I'm going to get ripped now.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'm going to get hammered for having a high-pitched voice.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Josh, the high tenor. That was absolutely extraordinary.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I mean, I can't believe he's not sung before
0:13:39 > 0:13:41but he's got a naturally really high voice,
0:13:41 > 0:13:45the sort of voice you don't expect to find.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47That was really exciting.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49That was... That was my rough diamond. Brilliant.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Auditions over, Gareth must now decide who's in.
0:13:59 > 0:14:05What I'm trying to do is get a balance of good voices,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07get it balanced across the company.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11It's not just good voices, it's voices that are going to go together
0:14:11 > 0:14:12and make up a section.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16So if someone's going to stick out too much,
0:14:16 > 0:14:20because they've got an enormous voice, it's not necessarily a good thing.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21I want voices that are going to blend.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26He was good. He's very good.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31That is my choir.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48The next day, Gareth's 30 hand-picked staff gather for their first-ever rehearsal
0:14:48 > 0:14:50at head office.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Come on in. Welcome. My choir.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- All right?- Good thanks. - How are you doing?- You all right?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Hi. Hi. Hello.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Hi, Gill.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Congratulations. - Thank you!
0:15:06 > 0:15:08You're in the choir.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Very, very exciting. First day, first rehearsal.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15There's a real buzz in the air. It's brilliant.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19It is a contest - definitely, it is a contest -
0:15:19 > 0:15:23and fundamentally, it's about putting the company's best foot forward,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25so we're looking for quality.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29So you, the choir, is going to choose its own song.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35I think it's really important that you have a song that represents you,
0:15:35 > 0:15:39your company, your personality as a choir.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Does anyone have any immediate thoughts?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- Liam?- Cry Me A River. - Oh, that's a good one!
0:15:45 > 0:15:50- # Come on and cry me a river - # ..cry me a river
0:15:50 > 0:15:54# Cry me a river
0:15:54 > 0:15:58# I cried a river over you. #
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- I was toying with The Flood. - The Flood?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Who's that by?- Take That. - Do we all know it?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07# Standing.... # Can I hear it? Two, three, and.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10# Standing
0:16:10 > 0:16:15# On the edge of forever. #
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- That's a really good suggestion. - But flooding's not a good concept.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24I'm going to be a party pooper. I get the lyric that it's holding back the flood
0:16:24 > 0:16:26but we have to be a bit sensitive to that.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29We did flood a treatment works in 2007
0:16:29 > 0:16:32and people work in sewer flooding and things like that.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Sometimes, people's houses flood,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36so it's a bit of a hostage to fortune.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40It was about Take That and the fans missing them when they're gone.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41That's what it was all about.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Who is it that deals with complaints?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Great.- I'm with Andy. LAUGHTER
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Any others? Yes - Neale?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- River Deep Mountain High. - PEOPLE EXCLAIM
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Is that # Do I love you, my oh my # ?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59And it's great once you get to the chorus
0:16:59 > 0:17:00but you will be stood there singing,
0:17:00 > 0:17:04# When I was a little girl I had a puppy. #
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Tina Turner, isn't it?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12# Rolling like a river. #
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- Who does that?- Tina Turner.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16# Rolling... Rolling
0:17:17 > 0:17:20# Rolling like a river. #
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Proud Mary. It's your choice. It's crunch time.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28We've got to decide. Is it Cry Me A River?
0:17:29 > 0:17:30- No.- No?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Is it The Flood by Take That?
0:17:32 > 0:17:33No.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Is it Take Me To The River or is it Rolling In The River?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Rolling In The River.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41All those in favour say aye.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Aye!- Motion passed.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Your first song is Proud Mary.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48So, # Rolling like a river. #
0:17:48 > 0:17:53- I've printed off the songs. Does anyone know this?- Only the chorus.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Let's just do the chorus. If we just get that...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- LOW: - # Rolling...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- HIGH - # Rolling
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Sopranos, sing that for me. Three, and.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- # Rolling #- Bit more energy. - # Rolling
0:18:04 > 0:18:07# Rolling on a river #
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Altos' tune.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11IN HARMONY # Rolling, rolling #
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- That's it. - # Rolling on a river #
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Altogether.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- # Rolling - # Rolling
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- # Rolling - # Rolling
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- # Rolling on a river # - Ah!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- THEY SING QUIETLY # Rolling - # Rolling
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- # Rolling - # Rolling
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- # Rolling on a river # - Stand up. Three, and.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34- # Rolling - # Rolling
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- # Rolling - # Rolling
0:18:36 > 0:18:41# Rolling on a river. #
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Good. I think that's got great potential.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Well done, everyone. Rolling On A River it is.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Let's leave it there. Thank you very much. Well done.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54It was great. I thought we...
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I was amazed at the noise that we made first time out.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I'm really pleased that there's a great mix of people.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02It's really nice, if you think about it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06In a work environment, we would never have...
0:19:06 > 0:19:08We would never have met each other, really, would we?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I've spoken to Neale on lots of occasions
0:19:11 > 0:19:13during the day to day business of Severn Trent
0:19:13 > 0:19:14and we've never met before.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20It sounded great. As a first rehearsal from a group who've never sung together,
0:19:20 > 0:19:25many of whom have never sung in harmony before, it was great.
0:19:25 > 0:19:31What's really exciting for me here is that we've got a really good, strong men's section
0:19:31 > 0:19:36and we've got lots and lots of singers who are naturally talented.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37They've just got lovely voices.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41There's some fantastic singing going to happen here.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51A few days later, Gareth heads out on a job,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53finding leaks with one of the workmen, Josh.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57So there's Josh, my star tenor.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Hi! I'm dressed for the occasion. - JOSH LAUGHS
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- How are you doing?- All right, Gareth. How are you?- I'm good.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Good to see you. I've come to see what you do.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Right.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- What's that? - This is the listening stick. That's what you find leaks with.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- A listening stick.- We'll go down there, see if we can hear it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22What does the listening stick say?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- It says, "I can't hear much." - All right.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Do you need my ears? I've got a musician's ears.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28That might be fantastic.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- No, there's no sound. - There's no sound on there.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- So have you got kids or...? - Yeah, I've got three kids.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Are they old enough to know what's going on?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Erm, I told them last night. - What did they say?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48They laughed. They thought it was quite funny, to be honest.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I can't sing. My partner, she's a singer.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54She likes singing and doing things and she's really good.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Do you sing with your kids?- No. - No?- No.- Not at all?- No.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- So you don't ever do any singing? - No, never, ever.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01This is astonishing.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07It's really interesting because I thought you got the ear test absolutely right
0:21:07 > 0:21:09and you've got this really good range.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You seemed really vocally confident, actually.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Yeah, no, I don't ever - never ever.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- No? Football matches, nothing like that?- Nothing, no.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- Well, I hope...- Nothing. - I hope you're going to enjoy it. - I do, as well, yeah.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27You've just got to be a graffiti artist.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29You get to be a graffiti artist.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31I'm going to have to have a sandwich now.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Well done. You deserve a break.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36LAUGHTER
0:21:36 > 0:21:41What a nice guy and how amazing that he's never sung before.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44But he has just got a naturally high voice
0:21:44 > 0:21:48and I think he's going to be a secret weapon for this choir.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Over the following weeks, Gareth arranges for the choir
0:21:56 > 0:21:59to have a series of additional rehearsals
0:21:59 > 0:22:00with a local choir mistress.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03# Left a good job in the city
0:22:04 > 0:22:08# Working for the man every night and day. #
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Brilliant. Really well done.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16But on his next visit, as staff gather at the Leicester water centre,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Gareth discovers all is not well with the choir.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Hello, everyone.- Hello! - Hello. Good to see you all.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Been working hard?- Yes.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Got a couple of absenteeists.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Am I missing Josh in the middle there?- Yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- Any ideas? - Er, I believe...- He's struggling.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42- Struggling to find the time, I believe.- Oh, no. You're kidding?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I think he has... Has he actually officially...?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- He's handed in his notice... - I think so.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- ..on the choir.- Yes.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- My super high tenor.- Yes.- Oh, no.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- So we're a man down on the tenor team.- Yes.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Erm... Oh, that's disappointing.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I think he just can't find the time.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Damn. OK.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Let's move on. We still have a lot of people in the choir.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Let's do it part by part. Let's start at the bottom and work up.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14So can I actually just hear the tenor line
0:23:14 > 0:23:17from the beginning. Tenors all the way through.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20# Big wheels keep on turning... #
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- Smooth here. - # Proud Mary keep on burning
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Energy. - # Rolling
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Sound. - # Rolling
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- There it is! - # Rolling on a river
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Don't hang on "er" too much. - # Rolling
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- # Rolling... # - Short "er"
0:23:36 > 0:23:41# Rolling on a river
0:23:41 > 0:23:46OK. Now we're going to do the alto line. One, two, three and one.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48# Doo-doo doo doo-doo Doo-doo doo doo-doo #
0:23:48 > 0:23:52It's like the confidence arrives ten minutes later.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54It's got to be # Doo-doo doo doo-doo #
0:23:54 > 0:23:57That's the sound I want. Two, three, and.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00# Doo-doo doo doo-doo # Doo-doo doo doo-doo #
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Yeah but now all the energy's gone. It's funny. Why...?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05We can either have # Doo-doo doo doo... #
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Or we can have # Doo-doo doo
0:24:07 > 0:24:10# Doo-doo doo doo-doo # Two, three.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Yeah, please. Let's stand up. Let's try that again.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- # Doo-doo doo doo doo... # - And down.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- # Left a good job in the city - # Doo-doo doo doo doo
0:24:21 > 0:24:23# Working for the man every night and day
0:24:23 > 0:24:24# Doo-doo doo doo doo
0:24:24 > 0:24:28# And I never lost one minute of sleeping
0:24:28 > 0:24:32# Worrying about the way things might have been
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- # Doo doo - # Big wheels keep on turning
0:24:36 > 0:24:39# Proud Mary keep on burning... #
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Sit down. Thank you very much. OK.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45We are getting there. No question. Let's take a break. Thank you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I think it's disappointing that the first person
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- has potentially left the choir. - Yeah, that is sad.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I just hope... Cos that was quite flattening, wasn't it?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- I think it'll be all right. - I'm going nowhere.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03- I'm going nowhere, either. These chances don't come round.- Exactly.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05We're struggling to carry it a bit.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08I'm finding it quite difficult at the top end of the register.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10There are some quite high notes in there.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I'm gutted about Josh pulling out.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15That is really bad news, bad news for them as a section,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17because he brought a kind of ring and brightness,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20that high voice that no-one else has got.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23It really felt like those tenors are struggling.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Right. So, I wanted you to come here today
0:25:29 > 0:25:35because I think what you need is to do your first performance...
0:25:35 > 0:25:37of this right now.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Bring it on.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Right now downstairs are the whole workforce who work here.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47They're all gathering and they've come to see you perform.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- You're joking!- I'm not joking, no. I'm serious.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54- I am serious. Who's up for a challenge?- Yes!- Yes?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57This is what this is about. It's about getting out there and performing.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00However this goes, let's learn the lessons.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Give it 100%, give it everything you've got and enjoy it.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Let's go and do this. Come on.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14The guys downstairs are sort of like, "Uh. We go out and dig holes."
0:26:14 > 0:26:16They're quite intimidating.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18It's like, "I'm a real man."
0:26:18 > 0:26:21And if you go down and sing in front of them in a choir,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23it's a little bit daunting.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Good afternoon! Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Mostly gentlemen, actually.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Good to see you.
0:26:42 > 0:26:49This is your choir. There's most of your workforce represented here.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52There's guys from head office, there's guys from all over the place
0:26:52 > 0:26:54and this is their first performance.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58I told them that they were going to perform for you about five minutes ago,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01so there's some degree of nerves and tension
0:27:01 > 0:27:04but we're going to man up and we're going to get on with it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Here we go.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07What do you think? Pretty good stuff.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Well done, everyone. That's it. We did it.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- You are a choir! - CHEERING
0:29:16 > 0:29:19That was well slick. I was impressed.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21That sounded professional.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23The performance was really good.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25They seemed really confident.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28I thought it would be crap but they were quite good.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- We sounded better than what we have done. - Better than we did all day.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- I really enjoyed myself in there. - Yeah, it was wild, wasn't it?
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- We're starting to sound like a choir.- Yeah.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40It was much better in performance than it had been in rehearsal
0:29:40 > 0:29:44but it wasn't the finished product at all.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46The real bitter taste in my mouth is
0:29:46 > 0:29:48that we seem to have lost Josh from the choir
0:29:48 > 0:29:51and without him, actually, they suffered a little bit,
0:29:51 > 0:29:53so I'm a bit gutted.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- Later that evening... - Josh should be somewhere around here.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07..Gareth goes in search of tenor Josh.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09I wonder whether I can persuade him back in.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11There he is.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- Hello, Josh. - Hi, Gareth. Are you all right?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Yeah. You're a difficult man to find.- I know, yeah.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19- Have you been busy? - Yeah, very busy.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- We're busy tonight, as well. - OK.- Really busy.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26I'm just er... I'm sorry I can't make the choir no more.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- I'm a bit gutted, actually. - I am as well, to be honest.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- Ah, no.- But er... - What's your reason?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- My partner was ill for quite a while with my daughter.- She's been ill?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Yeah, she was in hospital for about two months, yeah.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Is this following the birth? - This was just before it. - Oh, goodness.
0:30:41 > 0:30:48- She was basically paralysed. She was in a wheelchair and all that. - Oh, my goodness.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52It was the baby pushing on her pelvis which then trapped some nerves
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- which stopped her from moving. - Oh, my goodness.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58So we've had a bit of a mad one, so just trying to sort all that out.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- I completely understand that. - It's been quite hard.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06I think it's one of the difficulties of trying to create a choir in a workplace
0:31:06 > 0:31:09is that people have got lives - it's very...
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Well, look, stick at it. Do keep singing
0:31:11 > 0:31:13because I think you should, I really do.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16And I hope your wife's all right. Good luck with the baby.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- She'll be all right.- All right. - Thank you, Gareth. Take care. - See you.- See you.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I'm really gutted, I'm really gutted,
0:31:22 > 0:31:26because he's such a lovely bloke, a really, really nice guy,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29and has this really interesting voice.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33But the show must go on.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46A few days later, Gareth gets a chance to see a different side of the water industry.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49What is in there?
0:31:49 > 0:31:50HE SNIFFS
0:31:53 > 0:31:55At one of the company's sewage treatment works,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57he catches up with choir member Neale.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Morning. Hello, Neale. How are you doing?- Are you all right?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- Yes, good to see you.- Yes, yeah.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- So how's the choir?- It's great.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11I have to say, I'm still in shock and awe about how good it sounds, I really am.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Apart from the camaraderie
0:32:13 > 0:32:19and getting out to meet people that I've spoke to but never met
0:32:19 > 0:32:22and the feeling that we're actually knitting Severn Trent together.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- Because we're a vast organisation. - It humanises the company.- Yeah.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- Show me around.- Yeah, of course. - I'm slightly trepidatious.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- Do you get used to this smell? - You do all week
0:32:34 > 0:32:36but you have the weekend off and you come back in
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- and you go, "Oh, what a terrible smell!"- Really?
0:32:39 > 0:32:43I mean, we're looking at, now, quite a high flow.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Everybody's just had a shower,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48been to the toilet in the morning, first thing.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52It just looks like a river and then you notice the bits floating in it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Now, those are the bits we want to keep.- That's the good stuff, is it?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- That's the organics. - So it's bits of people's food.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Yeah, yeah.- Digested or otherwise.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- Oh, there's a pea. - THEY LAUGH
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Oh, there's a bit of bread there. - Yeah.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07What's that?!
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Bits of rag, cotton buds, things like that.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14The sieves drop it into there, they're called screens,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17into a conveyor and drop into the skips down below here.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- And what happens to that? - That will go to landfill.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22What's the worse thing that's come through?
0:33:22 > 0:33:26The worst thing that comes through is pets.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27- No!- Pets, yeah.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- Oh, no.- Little hamsters, things like that come through.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- Oh, you're kidding?- Yeah. - Oh, no.- Oh, it's horrible that is, dealing with those.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- We had a man's willy come through once at Stratford.- You're joking me?
0:33:39 > 0:33:42It's a fascinating process. I'd never really thought about it.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Thank goodness for people like Neale.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49I tell you what, I am going to be very careful what I put down my sink
0:33:49 > 0:33:51and even more careful about what I put down my toilet.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Later that day, Gareth decides to sort out his own messy problem -
0:34:01 > 0:34:04the missing tenor.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10He hopes one of the workmen from his reserve list might get him out of a hole.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- Jamie.- Hello.- Hello. - How are you doing?- I'm all right.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- Have you got a moment?- Yes.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21As you've probably heard, I'm one man down.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- One man down.- I'm a tenor down.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27And you did a great audition and I'm wondering if you're interested.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Yeah. Cool.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- You're excited about it?- Yeah.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- Yeah? Good. - Beautiful. When do I start?
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- You... er... This afternoon. - Cheers, mate.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38- Yeah?- Nice one. CHEERING
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- Brilliant.- Well done, Jamie. Well done, mate.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44I knew one of the lads had dropped out,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46middle of the week, or last week,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49but I didn't know whether I'd get called upon or not
0:34:49 > 0:34:51but I have been, so, yeah, I'm happy.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00HE HUMS
0:35:02 > 0:35:04With his new tenor in place,
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Gareth focuses on giving the choir a more challenging song.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10HE HUMS ALONG TO RHYTHM TRACK
0:35:12 > 0:35:15For me, this is the perfect song for this organisation
0:35:15 > 0:35:19because ever since I've arrived, all they've talked about is being under pressure.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23This has a bit more lyrical music in it,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26so it's a bit more of a vocal challenge to sing.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28That's tricky.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- # Change our way of... # - HE HUMS
0:35:33 > 0:35:36It's a step on from where they've been so far,
0:35:36 > 0:35:38so this has got a couple of choral challenges
0:35:38 > 0:35:42that will make them work at the level that they're going to need to be for the competition.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52So, welcome, everyone.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57- It's time to introduce a new song. - Yay!
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Now, I was thinking really hard about what song to do,
0:36:00 > 0:36:02to do with you,
0:36:02 > 0:36:06and, er, when I came here on the first day
0:36:06 > 0:36:07I was walking around
0:36:07 > 0:36:11and there was one phrase that kept cropping up
0:36:11 > 0:36:13and it was like a joke
0:36:13 > 0:36:16and the phrase is, "under pressure".
0:36:16 > 0:36:17LAUGHTER
0:36:17 > 0:36:19In a couple of weeks' time
0:36:19 > 0:36:25I want you to perform for, basically,
0:36:25 > 0:36:27your entire company.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29CHEERING
0:36:30 > 0:36:32So we're going to do Under Pressure.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Here we go. Let's crack on.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36# Dum-dum dum da-da dum dum
0:36:36 > 0:36:38One, two, three...
0:36:38 > 0:36:43# Dum-dum dum da-da dum dum # Dum-dum dum da-da dum dum. #
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Watch there, basses, that the lower note is in tune.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48# Dum-dum dum da-da dum dum
0:36:48 > 0:36:51# Dum-dum dum da-da dum dum
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- That's it! - # Dum-dum dum da-da dum dum
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- Altos. And. - # Pressure pushing down on me
0:36:57 > 0:37:01# Pressing down on you No man ask for
0:37:01 > 0:37:03That's it. # No man ask for. #
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Good. OK, now, tenors.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09# Under pressure That burns a building down
0:37:09 > 0:37:13# Splits a family in two Puts people on streets. #
0:37:13 > 0:37:16I heard somebody move on "down".
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- ON ONE NOTE - # Building down #
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Does anyone want to own up? - LAUGHTER
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Can we do it with sopranos, please? Three.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29# Under pressure That burns a building down
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- # Splits a family in two Puts people on streets... #- Good.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- # Dum-dum dum da-da dum dum... # - Two three.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- # Under - # Pressure pushing down on me
0:37:39 > 0:37:42# Pressing down on you No man ask for... #
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Well done.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47# Under pressure That burns a building down
0:37:47 > 0:37:50# Splits a family in two
0:37:50 > 0:37:52# Puts people on streets... #
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- It's going to be good, right? - Yeah!
0:37:54 > 0:37:56It's really going to be good. OK, well done.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Big performance in the atrium is very nerve-racking, actually -
0:38:03 > 0:38:06in front of the whole company, as well.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Because we're based here a lot of the staff from this building
0:38:09 > 0:38:11will be there watching us, so that's difficult.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- I haven't thought about that. - I have.- Thanks. Great.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- That's worse now.- So that's going to be the difficult thing.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19The performance in the atrium will be great.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22It will sound great in there, lifting it up to everyone.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Really high up there. Brilliant. That's got to go well.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26I'm really up for that.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Really looking forward to it, definitely.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42For the company performance, Gareth wants a lead soloist
0:38:42 > 0:38:46and decides to hold auditions on executive floor seven.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50It's quite intimidating to come in here. This is their board room.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Most of them won't ever have been in here
0:38:52 > 0:38:54and I think that's a good thing
0:38:54 > 0:38:58because if they can't come in here and stand up to this challenge
0:38:58 > 0:39:01then how are they going to do it in front of the whole company
0:39:01 > 0:39:03and how can they represent the company?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06It's very important the soloist can do that.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09I never thought I'd be on the seventh floor, singing.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11I probably thought I'd be up here on a disciplinary.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13But not singing.
0:39:13 > 0:39:18- Hello, Mick.- Morning. - How are you?- I'm very well. How are you?- Good, thanks.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Nervous?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- I wasn't.- But and then you come in. - Yeah.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27# Pressure pushing down on me
0:39:27 > 0:39:30# Pressing down on you No man ask for
0:39:31 > 0:39:37# Under pressure That splits a family in two... #
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- No.- "That burns a building down." - I'm going to leave it, I think.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45# Pressure Pushing down on me
0:39:45 > 0:39:48# Pressing down on you No man ask for
0:39:49 > 0:39:51There's a lack of connection with the words.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55This is about pressure, you know, that splits a family in two.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58It can't feel bland.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01It can't feel, you know...
0:40:01 > 0:40:03I was going to say it can't feel corporate.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08I haven't found anyone yet and I'm almost halfway through.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Come on, man. What are you waiting for?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Still waiting to audition is office worker Charlotte.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16SHE SIGHS
0:40:16 > 0:40:19And new tenor, workman Jamie.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21A little bit nervous, actually, now, yeah.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Erm, I weren't on the way here.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25I was thinking, "Yeah, easy,"
0:40:25 > 0:40:28but now I've seen where I've actually got to go into
0:40:28 > 0:40:30I'm cacking it a bit.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- Hi, Jamie. How are you doing? - How are we doing?
0:40:32 > 0:40:37Only been in the choir for a day and you're already going for a solo.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38That's very impressive.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Apart from audition pressures, what sort of pressures do you have in your life?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Er, you know, pressures at work
0:40:45 > 0:40:50and pressures... You like to look after the people you love
0:40:50 > 0:40:54- and you know what I mean...- Yes. - Just...
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- Mostly, the pressure's now. - Yeah, mostly pressure now.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- But I think that's what the song's about. Let's try it.- OK.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08# Pressure pushing down on me
0:41:08 > 0:41:12# Pressing down on you No man ask for
0:41:12 > 0:41:16# Under pressure That burns a building down
0:41:16 > 0:41:18# Splits a family in two
0:41:18 > 0:41:21# Puts people on streets.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Thank you, Jamie.- OK.- Well done. - Cheers, mate.
0:41:24 > 0:41:30Very impressive that he came in as a reserve yesterday.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32I'm seriously impressed with him as an individual
0:41:32 > 0:41:34and actually his voice is not bad at all
0:41:34 > 0:41:36and he's got something about him.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38He just seems quite kind of robust.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- Hello!- Hello, Charlotte. How are you? - Not bad.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- How are you feeling? - Nervous but all right.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49# Pressure that builds... #
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Oh, no, that's the last one.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54# Pushing down on me. # Pressure - pressure's a big word.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55Make it bigger.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57# Pressure
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- # The... pushing... # - Again. Ready.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05# Pressure pushing down on me
0:42:05 > 0:42:09# Pressing down on you No man ask for
0:42:09 > 0:42:13# Under pressure that burns a building down
0:42:14 > 0:42:19# Splits a family in two Puts people on streets
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Let's do it one time and get the words right, from memory.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24You've almost got it.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29# Pressure pressing down on me
0:42:29 > 0:42:32# Pushing down on you No man ask for
0:42:33 > 0:42:37# Under pressure That burns a building down
0:42:37 > 0:42:41# Splits a family two Puts people on streets. #
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Thank you, Charlotte. Well done. - Thank you.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46- You may go.- Thank you.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Charlotte has a great voice. She's a contender.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57I think she could do it but can she remember the words,
0:42:57 > 0:42:58can she get right through it?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Hmmm... Yeah.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08OK, come on in.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13So, very big morning
0:43:13 > 0:43:20and thank you very much for turning out to do the solo audition
0:43:20 > 0:43:22and you all did very, very well.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27I've made my decision and the soloist is going to be...
0:43:29 > 0:43:32- Charlotte. - CHEERING
0:43:35 > 0:43:36Well done, Charlotte.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Charlotte, you are the soloist. How are you feeling?
0:43:43 > 0:43:47My heart is like nearly like... Oh! It's nearly out my chest.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50You will do, I think, a great job for the company,
0:43:50 > 0:43:51so very, very well done.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Let's get ready to sing.
0:43:54 > 0:43:55Two, three, and.
0:43:55 > 0:44:00# Under pressure That burns a building down
0:44:00 > 0:44:03# Splits a family in two Puts people on streets
0:44:03 > 0:44:08- Big sound! - # It's a terror of knowing what this world is about
0:44:08 > 0:44:12# Watching some good friends screaming "Let me out!"
0:44:12 > 0:44:17# Pray tomorrow takes me higher
0:44:17 > 0:44:21# Pressure on people - people on streets... #
0:44:22 > 0:44:25I think it's time to put the solo in.
0:44:25 > 0:44:29From the beginning. One, two, three.

0:44:52 > 0:44:57- CHOIR SINGS HESITANTLY - Hello!- Oh!
0:44:57 > 0:44:59OK, we'll take a break there. Thank you very much.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06I'm ecstatic but my heart is just pounding.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10I'm really, really overwhelmed. I just can't believe it.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11I just can't believe it.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14Charlotte, she's slightly under-confident, I think,
0:45:14 > 0:45:17and I need to build her up a bit but she's got the right sound.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20She's musical enough to make something of that little moment.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26QUIET SINGING
0:45:26 > 0:45:30That evening, Charlotte practises her solo at home with her mum.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34I don't think I know the other bit.
0:45:34 > 0:45:39It's the first time I've ever done anything like this before.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42I'm going to be like leading the choir for a slight bit,
0:45:42 > 0:45:43which is pretty scary.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47# Pressing down on you No man ask for... #
0:45:47 > 0:45:49- You'll be all right.- Yeah.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52I suppose my confidence will be all right when I get there.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55I used to get asked at school, "Sing for me, sing for me,"
0:45:55 > 0:45:58and I'd stand there and I'd do it.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00I did used to get laughed at
0:46:00 > 0:46:03and I think it has bothered me over the years.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05# Puts people on streets
0:46:05 > 0:46:07- That's all we've got so far. - That's wicked!
0:46:07 > 0:46:11The choir makes me feel comfortable
0:46:11 > 0:46:15because I've not been with Severn Trent for a long time.
0:46:15 > 0:46:20I felt part of something and it's a nice feeling.

0:46:46 > 0:46:49# Watching some good friends screaming "Let me out!" #
0:46:49 > 0:46:54We are all starting to bond together as a family, really.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58It's nice to see, especially when we've not known each other for long.
0:46:58 > 0:47:02# This is our last dance... #
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Can you feel how it's beginning to be musical?
0:47:04 > 0:47:07I find it really energising. I go out, I've got so much energy
0:47:07 > 0:47:09and it's the highlight of my week.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12# ..tomorrow takes me higher
0:47:12 > 0:47:15Because the sound is suddenly much richer.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18I find I get a lot less stressed.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20I plod along at work, looking forward to Wednesday's rehearsal,
0:47:20 > 0:47:23but I buzz off that until Friday time.
0:47:23 > 0:47:27# This is our last dance

0:47:30 > 0:47:34MUSIC: "Zadok The Priest" by Handel
0:47:41 > 0:47:43- How's work?- Er, all right.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46- What floor are we going to?- Seven.
0:47:46 > 0:47:50'It's less than 24 hours until the workplace performance.'
0:47:50 > 0:47:52- Do you ever normally come up here? - No. No.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56'Gareth wants to prepare soloist Charlotte for the challenge
0:47:56 > 0:47:59'of singing in front of hundreds of work colleagues.'
0:47:59 > 0:48:02FINGERS CLICK THE BEAT # Pressure pushing down on me
0:48:02 > 0:48:06# Pressing down on you No man ask for
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Note-wise, it's fine. I'd just like to see a bit more personality.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11- Yeah, of course. - One, two, three, and.
0:48:11 > 0:48:15# Pressure pushing down on me
0:48:15 > 0:48:18# Pressing down on you No man ask for. #
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Charlotte, you're such an engaging speaker
0:48:21 > 0:48:24and such an engaging personality and you're full of energy
0:48:24 > 0:48:29and yet as soon as you sing it's like you're in an exam setting.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31You know, when you speak you're really animated
0:48:31 > 0:48:34and I want that in your singing as well.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36- Can you do that?- Yeah.- Right.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39# Pressure pushing down on me
0:48:39 > 0:48:43# Pressing down on you No man ask for. #
0:48:43 > 0:48:45That's... That's better.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48You've got to forget that you're surrounded by senior managers
0:48:48 > 0:48:51and there's going to be the whole company in the audience.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53You've got to think "I've got something to tell you
0:48:53 > 0:48:55"that you don't know about
0:48:55 > 0:48:59"and it's my story, it's my version of your company
0:48:59 > 0:49:01"and you are all going to listen."
0:49:01 > 0:49:05- It's not easy. I'm not saying it's easy.- No, it's not.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08- I thought it was going to be a doddle.- No, it's not.- It's not.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11- Let's go and look at the space. - Yes.
0:49:13 > 0:49:14It's quite a big space.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19Mm.
0:49:19 > 0:49:20Yeah.
0:49:20 > 0:49:25I always think it's good to have sort of pre-match nerves,
0:49:25 > 0:49:27think about what you're going to have to do
0:49:27 > 0:49:30and try to imagine your voice filling that space.
0:49:30 > 0:49:35I think you need to think about your performance really just like that.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37It's a big old room to fill.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39It is.
0:49:39 > 0:49:44- So hopefully that will be full tomorrow.- Yeah.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47I never thought when I got this job at Severn Trent,
0:49:47 > 0:49:51I never thought that I was going to be singing
0:49:51 > 0:49:55in front of near enough everybody that works for the company.
0:49:56 > 0:50:00I'm not that nervous, really, but it will be different tomorrow, I think.
0:50:09 > 0:50:13The day of the workplace performance has finally arrived.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16- A little bit nervous, a little bit flustered but...- I'm petrified.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18My heart's starting to beat fast now
0:50:18 > 0:50:21because I'm thinking about all the people that are coming in.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24My colleagues are going to be up there watching.
0:50:30 > 0:50:33I just feel like it's all on me at the minute.
0:50:33 > 0:50:34I've got to make sure I hit the notes.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37Because I don't want to let the choir down, you know.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41As they prepare, what the choir don't know
0:50:41 > 0:50:43is that Gareth has invited one of the judges
0:50:43 > 0:50:46who'll decide which choir will win the overall contest,
0:50:46 > 0:50:49renowned conductor Manvinder Rattan.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52I'm hoping that we're going to hear a really tight team.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54How together are they?
0:50:54 > 0:50:57Are they singing as a team or are they singing as lots of individuals?
0:50:57 > 0:51:01In addition to that, I'm looking for a sense of engagement with the audience,
0:51:01 > 0:51:04so they're not just standing there performing to themselves,
0:51:04 > 0:51:07they're performing to someone else.
0:51:07 > 0:51:11'Manvinder will be hidden in the audience of family and work colleagues.'
0:51:11 > 0:51:15OK, everyone, let's gather round, please.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17I can feel the nerves descending.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21It's now time to go out and enjoy it and make a performance.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24A performance, for me, is a gift, it's an act of generosity
0:51:24 > 0:51:28and it's reflecting the spirit of your company back to the rest of the company
0:51:28 > 0:51:31and it's important that you feel that whilst you're singing.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33Really put heart and soul into this.
0:51:33 > 0:51:34OK, very good. Could we line up, please?
0:51:34 > 0:51:36WHOOPING
0:51:47 > 0:51:49Good afternoon, everyone.
0:51:49 > 0:51:53It's really good to see so many of you, even you up on the top floor.
0:51:53 > 0:51:56It gives me great pride to introduce you to
0:51:56 > 0:51:59the Severn Trent Choir.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:52:15 > 0:52:19The choir you see behind me represents your company
0:52:19 > 0:52:21because they're going forward to a contest
0:52:21 > 0:52:25where they will be competing with other British workplaces.
0:52:25 > 0:52:29So I would encourage you to support your choir, get behind your team.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32We're going to sing for you.

0:54:08 > 0:54:10CHEERING
0:54:20 > 0:54:22CHEERING
0:54:29 > 0:54:33- Well done. You did a fantastic job. - Thank you.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36- Yes!- Yes!
0:54:36 > 0:54:39- I don't think anyone thought they would be as good as they were.- No.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42- It was amazing! I loved it so much. - Brilliant.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44It just echoed all the way through and it was fantastic.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47I think this building is meant for singing.
0:54:47 > 0:54:51- It was just a fantastic performance. - I've never done something like that before
0:54:51 > 0:54:53and it was really quite a sort of tingly feeling
0:54:53 > 0:54:55with everybody smiling - whoa!
0:54:55 > 0:54:58You seemed really confident and you socked it out, you really did.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01- Definitely.- They will have heard that on the seventh floor.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05I'm going to cry!
0:55:05 > 0:55:07- Hey!- Hi, Gareth.- Well done. How was that?
0:55:07 > 0:55:09- Thanks.- Brilliant. - It was good, wasn't it?
0:55:09 > 0:55:11- What did you think? - It was OK.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14- OK?- That means a lot to me.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16Yeah, yeah - that OK speaks volumes.
0:55:20 > 0:55:24Very, very well done. Really. I was really happy with that.
0:55:24 > 0:55:28- How did you feel? - Yeah, good.- Really happy.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31There is one thing that you didn't know
0:55:31 > 0:55:34about today's performance.
0:55:34 > 0:55:38There was somebody in the audience
0:55:38 > 0:55:41who is a conductor of national repute,
0:55:41 > 0:55:44a very highly regarded conductor, called Manvinder Rattan.
0:55:44 > 0:55:49But more importantly he is one of the judges from the contest.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51THEY GASP AND GROAN
0:55:52 > 0:55:57And he's going to come and give you some feedback on your performance
0:55:57 > 0:55:59right now.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02- This is Manvinder. - APPLAUSE
0:56:02 > 0:56:04- Hello.- Come and stand here.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09Well done, everyone. That was an astonishing performance.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12I was blown away by the commitment that you all showed to that
0:56:12 > 0:56:14and clearly the immense work that you've put into it.
0:56:14 > 0:56:18I start judging a choir the moment it starts walking.
0:56:18 > 0:56:22I started judging you the moment you walked past me onto that stage
0:56:22 > 0:56:24and I was looking at the way you were walking.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26What did your body language tell me?
0:56:26 > 0:56:31Because part of singing is about projecting the sense of enjoyment
0:56:31 > 0:56:35and the story and the spirit that we want to convey to our audience.
0:56:35 > 0:56:40So when I'm supposed to be singing something happy and I'm looking really miserable,
0:56:40 > 0:56:44there's a problem there - so thinking about that presentation.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46So that's one thing I'd like you guys to work on.
0:56:46 > 0:56:51So good luck for the next part of this process and well done.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53- Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58The feedback that the judge gave us was really surprising.
0:56:58 > 0:57:02Seeing him has kind of helped us to think,
0:57:02 > 0:57:04- right, we need to up our game even more now.- Yeah.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06He's impressed with us already,
0:57:06 > 0:57:09so in a few more weeks when it comes to the actual contest,
0:57:09 > 0:57:12you know, we'll have a good chance of winning it, I think.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14- We want to win it.- Yeah.
0:57:14 > 0:57:16Right from the beginning - we want to win it.
0:57:16 > 0:57:20And we're going to go hell for leather to win it.
0:57:20 > 0:57:23What a fantastic day and what a moment for this company.
0:57:23 > 0:57:25It felt like it really came together under one roof.
0:57:25 > 0:57:27It was really exciting.
0:57:27 > 0:57:31You know, really actually very moving in a corporate environment,
0:57:31 > 0:57:33which is just a wonderful thing to see.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35It really had soul, that performance.
0:57:35 > 0:57:39They have work to do but I think now that we're at the contest stage,
0:57:39 > 0:57:42it's going to get competitive.
0:57:42 > 0:57:46- Next week...- I've got some new music for you.- Oooh!
0:57:46 > 0:57:50All four workplaces prepare to compete.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52# For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat... #
0:57:52 > 0:57:54# Sing, sing, sing, sing
0:57:54 > 0:57:57# Everybody goes... # This way.
0:57:57 > 0:58:00# Don't mess with Mister In-between... #
0:58:00 > 0:58:01Oh, God!
0:58:01 > 0:58:03A panel of judges will hear them perform.
0:58:03 > 0:58:07- They've been together for two months? Listen to that.- Fabulous.
0:58:07 > 0:58:08Absolutely gorgeous.
0:58:08 > 0:58:11And one choir will leave the contest.
0:58:11 > 0:58:15Someone's about to be knocked out and it's really painful, actually.
